Ah that sounds incredible! Why does Seattle have no PopFest?

You Should check out Anderson Congress and the Manhattan Love Suicides on March 27th at the House of Shields! Both fantastic bands!
4 imaginary keenan said on March 6, 2009
Paul - where is the Manhattan Love Suicides show? Holy crap I would love to see them!
Kiku - Seattle needs a popfest. It almost happened in 2007 but then Atlas got shut down. Some day it will happen.

the Manhattan Love Suicides and Anderson Congress are at the House of Shields in San Francisco on March 27th...

If you're planning on going to the Cafe Du Nord, get your tickets early. That venue is not a lot bigger than something like the Sunset or Nectar and it will fill up FO SHO!

OMG - I must go buy my tix NOW! So excited. Too bad I already purchased my plane tix so I'll miss the Sunday goodness... and I hope that ballboy plays last on Friday since I arrive into SFO at 9p. EEP!
13 imaginary keenan said on March 31, 2009
Oh no! You'll miss Bunnygrunt! Who will buy them their standard popfest shots if not for Tullycraft?
Thanks for the lineup update, Aaron! I'll keep checking back for full passes!
